Pricing
Free for 90 days, then one price per machine
Ninety days free on your own line — the platform starts them itself, without an account. After that, one price per industrial PC, with everything the platform does included.
No card, and nothing switches itself on at the end of it.
Evaluation
Free
90 days, no card, no account
The platform gives itself ninety days the first time it starts. No key, no sign-up and no connection to us: a machine on a bench with no network is a fine way to evaluate.
- Every feature of a paid licence
- Install the apps you would actually buy
- Nothing starts charging on day 91
- Register only if you want us to warn you before it ends

Fleet
€480 per IPC / year
From 10 machines · €420 from 25
For machine builders who ship Kustlyne on their machines, and plants standardising across lines. One licence, one invoice.
- Everything in Kustlyne Platform
- One renewal date across the fleet
- Private apps published to your machines only
- A named contact rather than a queue
Launch prices: they may change once the first plants run Kustlyne. Prices exclude VAT. A licence is bound to one machine the first time that machine checks in; moving it to replacement hardware is a support request, not a purchase.
Apps
Apps are priced by whoever builds them
The platform licence lets a machine run Kustlyne. An app that costs money carries its own licence, priced by its publisher.
Free apps stay free
A good part of the catalogue costs nothing. Free apps need no key at all — the machine checks the signature and runs them.
Paid apps: per machine, per year
The same shape as the platform licence, because it is what the machine can check without asking anybody. The publisher sets the price.
An app licence stops on its date
There is no grace period for an app, so we write to you at sixty, thirty and seven days. Nothing stops without warning.
Before you buy the machine
Two numbers that decide the hardware
Both measured on the shipping release. Neither is on our invoice, and both change what you spend on the PC.
- More than 8 cores does not help
- The API and the data processor each run as a single process, so neither uses more than one core, and by default each is limited to half of one. A 32-core box performs like an 8-core one on the default configuration; going further is a change we make, not hardware you buy.
- Disk follows the sample rate
- About 39 bytes per stored point, with up to 21 days on the disk. 25,000 tags at one sample a minute is roughly 29 GB; at one sample a second it is about 1.8 TB — talk to us before you order for that.
| One sample every | Points in 21 days | Disk |
|---|---|---|
| 1 second | 45.4 billion | 1.77 TB |
| 5 seconds | 9.1 billion | 354 GB |
| 10 seconds | 4.5 billion | 177 GB |
| 30 seconds | 1.5 billion | 59 GB |
| 60 seconds | 756 million | 29 GB |
What we have not put a number on
Two things are not settled yet, so they are named here rather than filled in with a figure.
How many years the platform is supported
Every release gets security fixes for 12 months from the day it comes out, and newer releases are part of the licence. How many years the platform as a whole is supported is the part still open: the EU Cyber Resilience Act expects a period reflecting the expected life of the product, and industrial kit runs for a decade. We are taking advice rather than picking a number that sounds good and revising it downwards later.
What “net” means for a publisher’s 80%
A publisher keeps 80% of net revenue on a paid app — that part is settled. What is not written down yet is what comes off first: VAT, payment fees, refunds, chargebacks. It will be written before the first publisher signs anything.
Questions
Before you buy
What happens on day 91?
Nothing stops yet. Thirty days of grace begin, with a banner on every page. If there is still no licence when they end, access pauses: drivers carry on collecting and the data keeps being written — what stops is the interface and the API, and with them any app that relies on the API. Nothing is deleted, and buying a licence picks up where it left off.
Does the machine need the internet?
No. A machine with no outbound access is licensed from a file you download here and carry in. It runs its full term from that file, and we email you well before it needs replacing because that email is the only warning the site gets.
What if your website is down?
Nothing happens. The machine holds a signed licence with weeks of runway and only checks in to extend it. An outage of ours cannot stop your line — that rule is in the contract between the store and the device, not a promise on a web page.
Who on the plant sees that a licence is running out?
Everyone, once it matters. From 1.6.3 the machine warns 30, 7 and 1 day(s) before a trial or licence ends — “The platform license runs out within 7 day(s).” — in its notifications and its notification e-mails, and in the last 30 days admins also see a banner. In the grace period every account type sees a banner across the top of every page — “License in grace period — locks in 5 day(s). Renew soon.” — an admin is told to open Settings, and everyone else to ask an admin. The sign-in screen shows the licence state too, before anybody logs in. Data collection never stops, whatever the banner says.
Do I need an account to try it?
No. Download it, install it, and the platform runs for ninety days on its own. An account is worth having for one reason: we cannot see your machine, so it is the only way we can tell you the trial is ending before it does.
I started a trial here as well — how long do I actually get?
Ninety days, once. The machine counts them from the first time it starts. A licence key you activate here takes over the same ninety days rather than starting a fresh set, so activating on day one and activating on day eighty-nine end on the same date. If your machine was installed before we could ask it, we count from activation instead — which can only give you more, never less.
Can I move a licence to a different IPC?
Yes, by asking. It is deliberately not a button: a licence that can rebind itself is a licence that can be used twice, and we would rather answer an email than have that conversation with your auditor.
Not sure it fits your line?
Ninety days is long enough to run a real trial through a real shutdown. If it does not fit, the honest answer is worth more to us than a licence somebody regrets.
